Velveeta

Last Sunday was the big play off game with my hubby's favorite team and I really wasn't up to sitting at Harry's for 4 hours with all of our friends. So I bribed him with "If we can stay home to watch the game I will go to the store and get you whatever crap food you need to make it feel like a party." Here is his list:

bean dip

ruffles

chili

pepsi

velveeta

Velveeta? Where the hell do you find Velveeta? It has never made it's way onto my shopping list. But my hubby grew up in a family where Velveeta Chili Cheese Dip was a favorite family recipe therefore it fits into the "Comfort Food" category.

So I find myself at Winco, 30 minutes before game time, wandering the aisles because I had heard someone once say that Velveeta didn't need to be refrigerated. I thought it might be by the Kraft Mac & Cheese, because that's not food either. I was wrong.

Winco merchandises Velveeta in the cheese cooler. I grabbed the only humongous block they offerred, added some naan bread and hummus to the cart for me and checked out.

And that is how I lost my Velveeta virginity. My mom would be so not proud.

I lost my velveeta virginity over the Super Bowl this year also! For some odd reason my hubby, who is (usually) a very healthy eater, decided that we must make queso dip with the V. Where were we when he decided this? COSTCO! So I now have a lifetime supply of crap that I suppose I could save until next Super Bowl. :-/
